Thanks for the reply, Chandler. The idea that `hash_map` can ease adoption of libc++ for new users makes sense, and I do agree it provides value to libc++. I also think we must be careful not to try to mimic too many bad things that libstdc++ does just for the purpose of easing adoption, since that will be bad for libc++ in a different way.

Thanks a lot for this, I wasn't aware of the context.

I'd be very interested to see how much breakage this causes in something like FreeBSD just so we have a more concrete idea of what software this breaks. Perhaps the breakage will be smaller than the last time this was attempted? Otherwise, we're operating on assumptions. Dmitry, do you think you could do the exp-run you were talking about? I'd be very interested to see the results.
